Deluxe
Deluxe works great for us as we have a decent number of payments that go through them. I believe it would not be efficient for a smaller company who did not receive a lot of checks or electronic payments. Our volume warrants outsourcing of payment processing as it saves us a lot of time in-house. I would weigh the costs of the service against the time and payroll it costs your company.

In my personal experiences, I would recommend Melio to a friend or colleague but would tell them the pros and the con. Melio has really made payments seem seamless and easy. The fact that one can plan his/her payment schedule in advance and at the same time track it, is a very big relief. In as much as Melio has a lot of good features but it still needs upgrade or update, like the notifications of failed payments and delays.

Melio
  • The simplicity it adds to business payments is a great deal. One feature we really value it the ability to pay vendors by check. Melio prints and mails checks for us which saves time and hassle.
  • Payment scheduling tool is another thing we enjoy. This tool lets us plan ahead and manage cash flow more effectively by setting payment dates in advance.
  • Another thing Melio does well is the tracking of payment.
  • There was a time a vendor claimed that they hadn't been paid, but with just a few clicks we could see the check has already been delivered.
  • This kind of transparency gives us confident and keep things professional.
  • The integration with other platform or accounts like QuickBooks is an experience I did love to keep.

Cons
Deluxe
  • the ability to set up multiple check signatures depending on who is signing the check
  • Deluxe Payment Exchange+ to sell check blanks that we could use if we want to have the check emailed back to the company and print out a paper check
  • More space on payee line

  • There should be an automatic link between vendors added with their Melio link and the same vendors that already exist in QuickBooks. As it is now, a new vendor is created when you do that and is not linked with the one that already is in QuickBooks.

I like the interface. I am familiar with functionality. Convenient to send ACH payments.

Usability
Deluxe
It is more useful for large companies who have to make payments on large scale. The reason for less rating is because it is not useful for business who have less volume as the Deluxe Payment Exchange+ software needs customized setup required which can be less flexible and costlier to smaller organizations. The software can be improved and available at less cost to businesses who have less transactions.

Melio has been a very important tool in the advancement of our business. With great features, it has made payments to vendors seamless and hassle free. In terms of vendor management, account/data tracking, and scheduling of payments in advance. This has formed the base that we are still with Melio till today.

It was used as an alternate app as it user friendly and has similar cost compared to Plooto. Also it offers most of the features that Plooto is offering. But Plooto is useful for small businesses which Deluxe Payment Exchange+ is missing the needs of organizations with less transactions.

Melio is 100% free if you just use ACH, and that by itself would be reason enough for me to stick with the platform, it boats a ton of other useful features that add to the experience.
